(Editors Note: “Random Running Diary” is a recurring post which aims to give you a running commentary on events which would otherwise not qualify for a running diary.)

Tonight’s affair: Cavs v. Hawks. Anytime the Cavs are going for the sweep against a mildly pathetic Hawks team, I’ve got to do a running diary.

Pre-game: Ernie Johnson does the voice over for the intro, I think he got bored halfway through. Dick Stockton is our play by play man and he’s alongside the Czar himself. LeBron is busy going through all sorts of dances with his teammates, I’m 80% sure I caught the Kid N’ Play dance and the mile-high salute in there.

1st quarter :

11: 30 – Mo Williams hits a three and salutes his teammates who then take a seat. How is it that a team with Wally Szczerbiak seems to have so much team chemistry?

10:02 – Delonte West throws a half court alley oop to LeBron. That has become ho-hum. How scary is that?

Got your attention didn’t I? Now I’ll be honest with you…yes all 5 of you reading this post, the title is a shameless attempt at getting traffic to the site, but we need to do something. So with that…

As a Suns fan I’ve had the pleasure of watching a 36 year-old Grant Hill get up and down the floor the last 2 seasons. Hill has been decent for the Suns and will occasionally show flashes of what he once was. With every flash I think back to his Pistons days, which in turn leads me to remember some other 90’s players whose greatness can only be captured by YouTube and our memories. So just sit back and enjoy these 5 videos of some of my favorites (starting with Mr. Hill himself):

Grant Hill:

As discussed. The dunk at the :17 mark is a favorite, in case you aren’t paying attention he’s dunking over multiple Bullets, including 7’7 Gheorghe Muresan.
